Collin Sexton calls out LeBron James after signing with Lakers

Summary

Collin Sexton has joined the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-year, $19.2 million contract amidst LeBron James' exit from the team. Sexton humorously remarked that James consistently leaves just as he arrives, referencing their overlapping timelines since the 2018 NBA Draft when Sexton was selected by the Cavaliers shortly before James left Cleveland. Following his stint with the Utah Jazz and a brief season with the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls, Sexton's arrival is seen as an opportunity for the Lakers to bolster their scoring in James' absence. As the Lakers adjust to James potentially joining a new team, Sexton's role remains uncertain but crucial for upcoming seasons.
